The performance of four Nb3Sn conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested. The current sharing temperatures (Tcs) were measured over approximately 9000 electromagnetic cycles, including two… (More)

The conductor joint is one of the key technologies for superconducting coils. A butt type joint has been successfully developed for the ITER magnets. The 46 kA Nb/sub 3/Sn conductors are connected by… (More)

The ITER Central Solenoid (CS) conductor is composed of 576 superconducting strands and 288 Cu strands assembled together into a multistage cable and protected by a circle-in-square jacket with the… (More)

The cable-in-conduit conductors for the ITER TF coils are fabricated using the latest high performance strands. The strands made by bronze and internal-tin methods are used for the conductors with a… (More)

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) was the first to start the mass production of the TF conductors (jacketing) in March 2010 among the 6 parties who are procuring TF conductors in the ITER project. A… (More)

ITER PFCI has been manufactured in the Europe and installed into the ITER Test Facility in Naka, Japan. The conductor is NbTi cable-in-conduit conductor with thick square stainless steel jacket and… (More)

The performance of two conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested. The current sharing temperatures were measured over 17 050 electromagnetic cycles, including four thermal cycles between… (More)

JAEA successfully completed the manufacture of the toroidal field (TF) insert coil (TFIC) for a performance test of the ITER TF conductor in the final design in cooperation with Hitachi, Ltd. The… (More)
